My dd was just diagnosed with condramalasia patella or, softening of the cartiledge behind the knee cap. Doc says no gym for one week and the following 2 wks no squatting at all with pt excercises and ibuprophen for inflammation. Getting fitted for a support knee brace, too. Just wondering if my dd will be able to continue with gymnastics, as I don't know if this is a recurrent type of problem that can end a gymnastics career, unlike osgood-schlatters (spelling?) which doesn't damage the knee. None of the coaches at my gym ever had to deal with this condition until now.
